You are still living in 2020. Burna boy has since eclipsed Wizkid and Davido by every account of been "big" in music. He has sold more records, has more streams, worn more awards, performed in places that no other African artists has, has released 3 of the greatest afrobeats albums of all time and is more relevant on the global stage. Burna boy is sitting comfortably at the top of the African music industry, and if you think otherwise go and see a doctor.
I was about to say Burnaboy is now no.1

This isn't sentiment, He was the one that finished the work of making Afrobeats international.

I remember the days when Wizkid and Davido were dying and paying to do collabo with foreign artist.

With Burna, the opposite was the case. Foreign artists chased him. Even Koffee did a cover version of "Ye." He made Afrobeats stand tall and mighty.

However, his pride might destroy him. He acts as though he is the one feeding the fans and not the other way around.

Pride is before a crash.

Because you people have never heard of 2face before
Tuface was either the founder of Afrobeats or he was the one made it globally acceptable.

Once he blew in 2004, new artists began bringing out new Afrobeat heats.

However, he hasn't been bringing out songs and that's a shame. That is what people will judge you with.

He will soon be 50, latest next year. He might feel his time is done.

And you don't know 2face has since become obsolete (YESTERYEARS HIT-MAN)

In your grade, Micheal Jackson is still the best biggest singer now, since, he once ruled the world of music.


....... always come online to criticize, conderm and attack, just to proof a point.
Oga till date MJ remains the highest grossing artist. Even this year his songs have made more money than Taylor Swift.

Wizkid is Number 1 of the Big three. smiley

He is the one of the Nigerian Artiste that Blew at a Young Age.
Thus paving way for the likes of Tekno, Lil Kesh, Kizz Daniel and others. smiley

Also he is the First Artiste that Truly went International
When he got featured by Drake, Beyonce, Tinie Tempah.🙂

B4 Wizkid, no American Star had featured a Naija artiste in a song.😕
The way you guys utter words with confidence is mind boggling. So Dbanj that feature Snoop Dogg is what exactly or Psquare with Rick Ross?

Re: See The Big 3 In Nigerian Entertainment Music Industry Explained By King0g by Northsouth(m): 6:55pm On Dec 15, 2025

But
Kizz Daniel is the best singer in Nigeria.

OBO for a reason.

The “Big 3” debate will always come down to perspective, and for me, Davido stands out, not because of hype or fan wars, but because of impact and connection. His music cuts across regions, age groups, and social classes. Whether it’s a club, a wedding, a street corner, or a stadium, Davido’s songs consistently bring energy and unity.

Beyond the hits, there’s also the personality, accessible, relatable, and unapologetically African. You don’t have to overanalyze his catalogue; the numbers, the consistency, and the reception speak for themselves. No Grammy yet, yes but influence and relevance within Nigeria and Africa remain undeniable.

Respect to Burna Boy for global dominance and Wizkid for longevity and aura, legends in their own right. But when it comes to what I enjoy and what moves the people around me, Davido’s music does it effortlessly.

That’s my take. No hate, just preference.
I think that Flavour is the best if you consider all you mentioned

If your taste in music is determined by the number of awards an independent organisation allocates to the musician, then Tems is a much bigger artiste than PSquare, Don Jazzy and Fela combined.
Re: See The Big 3 In Nigerian Entertainment Music Industry Explained By King0g by aribisala0(m): 7:29pm On Dec 15, 2025
There are different types of music for different demographics

Do they even produce music for Nigerians


It is sad that Nigerian music is dying and we don't notice probably only Yoruba music I still alive today
Which other language

Now for our traditional ceremonies even weddings , funerals etc I can still think of Yoruba musicians that perform live like Wasiu Ayinde and Sunny Ade singing Yoruba

Who is singing Edo,Hausa, Efik, Tiv yes those 3 are Personally successful but we are losing something in the process
Now maybe you will only hear gospel songs in our languages

Cut the music, drop the sponsorship, stand down the paparazzi and put each in a studio, no beat, no instrument, no studio apps nada, just voice, talent and acapella...then you'll see the tussle for 1 and 2 is really between Wizkid and BurnaB, that third chap? Nah mehn, he can't sing, he just a hype show... #JustAFrontUsingMusicToWashHisFamilyRICO$ IYKYK
